Edward Vasquez, 37, of Lawrence, Massachusetts was arrested outside a shopping mall in Lebanon on Wednesday morning under similar circumstances.

Florucci was held overnight on $20,000 bail and both men were due in court later Wednesday to be arraigned on felony charges of attempted sexual assault and using a computer for prohibited purposes.
